Other Sports The MIA Heat Show Thread - Page 45

**DaKCMan AP** · 07-09-2010, 09:30 AM

LA will be dethroned. The LAC Lake Show will be dead. So it's time to create a thread to follow the new dynasty.

Going on tour starting this October.

While I think MJ is kind of a jackass, I don't see his comments as that bad. If you read them in full, you understand where he's coming from. He doesn't necessarily make a negative remark about it, just that he wouldn't be interested in doing that but that the game has changed.

He always does have the ArrowheadHawk option of switching to a super power team at any time though, so he has that going for him.

I know Barkley basically agreed with MJ as well. Honestly I think it's good for the NBA, but it does say a lot of today's NBA players.

Just how is it good for the NBA to have 3 stud players on one team?

It's not good at all. The competitive balance was already tough in the NBA. Now, if this turns into Paul and Anthony joining forces somewhere, it will further set them back.

It's far better for the NBA to have studs on a lot of teams.

There's no way in hell I'd ever take Chris Bosh as a 3rd option over Horace Grant or Dennis Rodman.

Both of those players played great defense. Grant was money from the elbow. Now, Rodman was terrible offensively, but his impact was tremendous on games. Bosh does not play much defense. He's a one-dimensional scorer and decent rebounder. He's great as the focal point of an offense, but I'll be curious to see how he does when his touches are cut in half.

Anybody has that option really. Not sure why you wasted time typing it.

See, I don't think everyone has that option.

Generally, by the time you are in your teens or late teens, you are locked in on your teams.

It takes a special sackless bitch to jump on a bandwagon.

There are going to be a lot of Heat shirts worn with Yankees lids in the coming years.

Wow. Who died and made you the god of all fans? Its not like I own or will ever own any Heat shit. I just think they will be fun to watch. I have never really followed an NBA team. And if one moved to Kansas City I would follow them in a heartbeat. I have been a Chiefs and Kansas fan since I was a kid so does that make them ok for me to root for. I'm sure you welcome all the bandwagon fans that support your teams.

I guess OKC is just too far away then?

Because it creates a much needed spark for a faltering league. I personally would prefer to see Wade with a Laker type supporting cast vs The Lakers, but right now the league needed something different to get people watching again.

That's just silly. Bosh avg'd 24 and 11 and shot over 50% last year with all the focus on him.

Irrelevant. You have numerous MVP winners switching teams and combining with other stars in an effort to win a championship. Jordan was acting like it has never happened in the history of sports. However, it happens all the time in every sport. Shit, he was a part of that very thing in '92 in Barcelona. He's being ignorant, hypocritical and egotistical.

And I'd argue that James/Wade/Bosh compared to Garnett/Pierce/Allen is a whole lot closer than you think.

Garnett, over 15 seasons, has averaged 19.8 ppg, 10.8 rpg, 4.2 apg, 1.4 spg. Bosh, in seven seasons, has 20.2 ppg, 9.4 rpg, 2.2 apg, 0.8 spg.

Allen has averaged, over a 15 year career, 20.5 ppg, 4.3 rpg, 3.7 apg, 1.2 spg compared to Wade's 25.3 ppg, 4.9 rpg, 6.6 apg, 1.8 spg over a seven year career.

Pierce, in twelve seasons, has 22.5 ppg, 6.1 rpg, 3.8 apg, 1.8 spg. James, in seven seasons, has 27.8 ppg, 7.0 rpg, 7.0 apg, 1.7. spg.

That ain't that far off, especially considering the shared load diminished stats that Allen, Pierce and Garnett have had over the last three seasons. I think it's a very valid and even comparison in terms of players joining together in order to win a title.
